Good podcast

These guys are very knowledgeable about sports. In addition, if they want to see their kids, they don’t have to hop a flight and fly over 1000, miles like other podcasters have to.

I miss Bob Scucci

I love you Chad but you can’t hire a co-host. This show ended with Scooch leaving. Completely recycled garbage content with Blackjack and now SimonHunter. Just Donte show by yourself. 5 star then
